Section 12: Justice

Leading this army stationed at the frontier were the vassals of Bilis, the chief Calvin and the chief of Balk, an army of five hundred men, all of whom were their tribal soldiers, and when the cavalry was handed over to them with the order of Bilis, the two chiefs checked each other's seals of Bilis, and when they were sure of it, they were ready to call their men and march in the direction that Bilis had asked them to advance, but at this moment there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the woods.

"Do you have any other companions?" Calvin said curiously to the messenger.

"No, just the two of us." The cavalry sent by Bilisi shook their heads, and they did not remember to send anyone else for the errand when they left.

"Prepare your weapons." Calvin's leader's face changed, if it weren't for the messenger, the sound of horses' hooves appearing outside the camp at this time was likely to be the enemy, he drew the sword at his waist, and the soldiers beside him hurriedly clenched the spears in their hands.

"Shh~~." Just as everyone was staring nervously at the path of the woods, several people on horseback appeared on the path, these people did not have any flags in their hands, and the rider at the head was wearing a gray cloak, and the hood of the cloak was pressed very low, so that no one could see his face clearly, only to see the horse under the rider's crotch tightening the reins stopped, and then the mysterious man jumped down from the horse and walked this way.

"Who is it, with your name on it, a robber or a nobleman?" Calvin had long brown hair, he wore his hair in a ponytail, and he had two thick mustaches on his lips, and his beard fluttered when he spoke. But his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his hands were as tough as eagle's talons.

"What? Can't remember my voice so quickly? The man hiding his face in his cloak, his voice low and slightly hoarse, walked firmly and step by step towards the Calvin chief, and between them were many spear-wielding soldiers.

"Get out of the way." Calvin Leader listened to the voice of the mysterious man, and some memories were recalled in his mind, but they were very vague and uncertain, and he couldn't help but push away the body of the man in front of him and get a little closer to the mysterious man.

"Be careful, chief, maybe a Germanic assassin." Calvin's chief's subordinates said to him worriedly.

"Assassins? No stupid assassin would have been in plain sight. They're all rats. Calvin Chief's rugged voice said......

"That's right, you guy with a big voice, when I was a kid, we lost every time we played hide and seek." The mysterious man smiled and took off his hood, revealing a face that had been emaciated by vicissitudes. When he saw this face, Calvin was stunned. He grew up and could barely speak.

"Kang. Kang, Kang Tuoyi? Calvin Leader rubbed his eyes, and he said in a staccato manner.

"It's me. Why are you going to aim your sword at your old friend? Kang Tuoyi stretched out his arm, held Calvin's shoulders tightly, and kissed his cheek affectionately, Kang Tuoyi and Calvin Chieftain are close friends who grew up together, Calvin Leader heard that Kang Tuoyi was caught and imprisoned by Billis because he killed Momis, so he was caught and imprisoned in an unknown place, although he has been suspicious of the whole rumor, but Kang Tuoyi's disappearance is an indisputable fact, in private Calvin thought that Kang Tuoyi must have been killed, and he had no way to fight his feudal lord Billis.

"I, I thought you were dead." Chief Calvin said in a soft voice, the corners of his eyes moistened, and there was nothing more to celebrate than to be able to see his closest friend again.

"Kang Tuoyi, how did you escape?" At this moment, the voice of the Balk leader came from behind them, and the leader was very surprised to see Kang Tuoyi here, but he quickly decided to capture the fugitive and return him to his feudal lord Bilis, who would surely reward him greatly for it.

"What are you going to do, Chief Balk?" Chief Calvin turned around and glared at the Balk leader and said loudly.

"Chief Calvin, don't forget your oath, this man is a murderer, and we must capture him and hand him over to Chief Bilis." Balk whipped his sword and said to Calvin Chief, his entourage pulled out their weapons and slowly surrounded Kang Tuoyi in the center, while the other soldiers didn't know what to do in panic, they sometimes looked at Kang Tuoyi, sometimes looked at Calvin Chief, according to past experience, when the nobles had disputes, it was best to do nothing as a low-class person.

"Did you kill Lord Momis?" Chief Calvin ignored Leader Balk, and instead asked Kang Tuoyi.

"There is no such thing, I can't kill Momis, the real killer of Momis is Bilis, he used me to lure Momis to the banquet for the power of the Great Chief, cut off Momis's head at the banquet, and then planted the matter on my head, and the gods can testify to my innocence." Kang Tuoyi said excitedly.

"Who else but the gods can bear witness for you?" Calvin's brows furrowed, if what Kang Tuoyi said was true, then this was a big deal, this was an accusation against Bilis of killing relatives and beasts.

"Bilisi's wife can testify to my innocence, and Momis's daughter Marty knows about it, otherwise she would not have turned to the Germans and made war against Bilis." Kang Tuoyi said sonorously.

"Lies, you dare to frame Lord Bilis, I'm going to kill you." The Balk leader roared angrily, and he stabbed Kang Tuoyi with his sword, and Kang Tuoyi was now defenseless in his hands.

"Bell~~." Suddenly, Calvin Leader stretched out his sword and swung the sword of Balk Leader, the sword collided with each other and made a crisp sound, seeing his leader move his hand, the soldiers on both sides also stood in two opposing camps, they looked nervously at the person who was still a companion just now, and aimed the weapon in his hand at the enemy.

"Hmph, if that's true, then I'm not going to owe allegiance to a sinister beast, and I'm going to break my oath with the gods." The Calvin leader glared at the leader of Balk, and he spat on the ground fiercely, expressing his contempt and spurt, there is no shortage of assassination and other dark actions in any era, but it is particularly shameful to attack a member of his own family, if the monarch did such a thing, then the rebellion of his subordinates will often be sympathized and appreciated by people.

"Traitors, kill them." The Balk leader was blocked by Calvin's sword, and waved his hand to the soldiers around him in annoyance, and suddenly the sound of fighting in the woods rang out, and the Slavs began to kill each other.

When the sun set, the grove gradually calmed down, the leader of Calvin held a bloody sword in one hand, and the head of the leader of Balk in the other, the head of the head with round eyes and an unwilling touch, his face turned white because of blood loss, the leader of Calvin came to Kang Tuoyi, and threw the head of the leader of Balk to the grass on the side, as casually as killing a dog, he stuck the sword with blood stains in his hand on the ground, and then held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and knelt down on one knee.

"Kang Tuoyi, you are my real monarch, I, Calvin, have betrayed Bilis for justice, are you willing to take me in and become my lord?" Chief Calvin's face was tired, but his eyes were wrinkled, and he was convinced that everything he had done was righteous.

"Of course I do, you will be my first vassal, Calvin chief, I will protect your property and the safety of your family, swear in my name." (To be continued......)
